About Château d'Olhain
Château d'Olhain is a castle located in the town of Fresnicourt-le-Dolmen, in the Pas-de-Calais department of France. The castle was built in the 13th century and has a rich history, having been involved in many important events throughout French history. The castle was first built by Robert VII, lord of Béthune, in the 13th century. It was originally a fortress and was later turned into a residence in the 16th century. During the Hundred Years' War, the castle was occupied by the English and was heavily damaged during the siege of Arras in 1640. In the 18th century, the castle was rebuilt in the style of Louis XV. During the French Revolution, the castle was confiscated and sold as a national property. It was later bought by the Duhamel family who restored the castle and turned it into a residence. Today, the castle is open to the public and offers guided tours of the interior and the surrounding park. It is also used as a venue for cultural events and exhibitions.
